Did the gutter above passenger door today decided to cut it out & make a new one plus part of the windscreen pillar needed a bit of steel in so easier to do cutting it all out.

Previous owner askiing how things are going SLOW is the word Geof what with weather & other things I would love to be able to crack on. Next few weeks might get to do something been cleaning a bit paint off inside put some new bits of woodwork on inside frame got the top back roof panel to put back on & trim resealed. Have got most of the furniture out to reset in the way my old one was with some of the reclaimed bits out of my old one that took a lot of work cleaning smoke & water damage still not quite there but reasonably pleased how its starting to look. Wifey has reupholsterd drivers seat & once I get new back roof panel & side panels inside things should start to move on a bit quicker

Very nice job with the upholstery, I'm going to need to get my two front seats done at some point but I think I'll be going somewhere professional to get a job like yours. Andy.

It`s not to hard to do yourself andy, depends what you want doing just need an old sewing machine with a bit stonger needle cut your old bits out sew new ones back in. Them old transit seats not to bad because they are made out of about 6 sections & all we did was take the 2 knackerd ones out & replaced them with leatherete which you can buy in loads different colours at most fabric shops. Cost £3 to fix that God knows what it would have cost using an upholsterer :roll:
